Orange grabs nearly 3 million data users

Following our coverage of the Orange data plans and the eventual changes Orange now seems to have gained 2.9 million users with data revenue now making up 23.1 percent of total revenue.

Coverage has now hit 94 percent of the population, with the USB data dongles and 3G mobiles helping to boost figures further. HSDPA currently only covers 56 percent of the UK population, however there are plans to continually expand high-speed access on the network.
